StatMan - Episode #97: NFL Wild Card Weekend Preview
StatMan Sports Podcast
01/05/21 • 41 min
NFL Wild Card Weekend Preview
Fittingly, an unprecedented 2020 NFL season remained unsettled until the 256th and final regular-season game. Washington's win on Sunday night clinched the NFC East division title (with a losing record, no less) and locked in the 2020 playoff field.
The league expanded its postseason to 14 teams this season, meaning only the No. 1 seeds -- the Chiefs in the AFC and the Packers in the NFC -- will get first-round byes. The other 12 teams will compete in a six-game wild-card weekend that opens in just six days.
Our playoff primer previews those matchups and takes a broader look at what each team must do to reach Super Bowl LV next month in Tampa, Florida, along with their updated chances via Football Power Index (FPI).

StatMan - Episode #94: If You Are Healthy, You Play & NFL Week 13 Records Broken
StatMan Sports Podcast
12/08/20 • 31 min
EPISODE 94 Overview
NFL Week 13 Records Broken
In this week's episode Steve put together the best stats and records from Sunday's slate of NFL games. From Davante Adams, Aaron Rodgers, Travis Kelce, Darren Waller to Justin Jefferson, and Baker Mayfield.
Lots of numbers and broken records in Week 13 is all you need to know for now.
NBA Load Management
He also talks about the new NBA policy about "REST". The never-ending debate about load management and resting players continued Monday, thanks to a new policy implemented by the NBA. This season, teams will be fined at least $100,000 if they are found to be resting healthy players for nationally televised games, according to Yahoo Sports' Chris Haynes.

StatMan - Episode #65: Damian Lillard deserves our respect
StatMan Sports Podcast
02/11/20 • 29 min
Since the NBA introduced the three-point field goal in the 1979–80 season, the 50–40–90 shooting threshold has been reached by eight players:
- Larry Bird with the Boston Celtics
- Malcolm Brogdon with the Milwaukee Bucks
- Stephen Curry with the Golden State Warriors
- Kevin Durant with the Oklahoma City Thunder
- Reggie Miller with the Indiana Pacers
- Steve Nash with the Phoenix Suns
- Dirk Nowitzki with the Dallas Mavericks
- Mark Price with the Cleveland Cavaliers
Then there is Damian Lillard. He's the first player in NBA history to average at least 40 points per game with 50/50/90 shooting splits over a 10-game span. Put some respect on this man's name!
Aside from Damian's ridiculous statistical streak,

StatMan - Episode #59 | Dynamic Duos & Drew Brees' consistency
StatMan Sports Podcast
12/17/19 • 38 min
We are back from a two week hiatus!
---
In today's episode we are talking about the Twitter poll circling around who would win a game of 21 between prime Kobe and Shaq vs. Anthony Davis and LeBron James.. Do you know who I am taking?!
We also get down on the consistency of Drew Brees and his legacy in NFL history and where he ranks all-time on the quarterback list!
---
Hot Take
It is hard to go against Tom Brady and Joe Montana as the two best quarterbacks to ever take a snap. Brady is part of a dynasty that we will never see again in any sport. The Patriots have won six Super Bowls with Brady and head coach Bill Belichick. Montana is highly regarded as the best Super Bowl performer ever. He has a record of 4-0 in Super Bowls and holds records for the highest passer rating (127.8) and most pass attempts without an interception (122). Montana was also the first quarterback to win the Super Bowl MVP award three times.
From there, Manning is a safe pick for the No. 3 spot on the list. Manning held the passing touchdowns and yards record until Brees overtook him. He added a second Super Bowl ring in his final season to go along with five MVP awards. Manning is considered the best regular-season quarterback ever as he was a Pro Bowl player 14 times and named a First-Team All-Pro member seven times.
After the top three, the list gets a little tricky. Dan Marino was one of the best passers ever but he was never able to capture a Super Bowl victory. Marino played in a different era and tore it up when throwing the football was much more difficult than it is today. It is unfair to criticize players based on their era because nothing is guaranteed. We do not know for sure how Brady or Brees would have fared in the 1980s. Johnny Unitas and Bart Starr were ahead of their time, which earns them great respect. Then there is John Elway who was one of the best prospects coming out of college ever and backed it up with two championships.
When rounding out the top five, Brees has to be in there. After Brady, Montana, and Manning, there is no wrong answer. Elway could be put at No. 4 but it is hard to put Marino above Brees without a championship. Let’s not forget that Brees is still playing and has a chance to add another Super Bowl at some point. Because of all this, Brees will go down as a top-five quarterback of all-time.

StatMan Sports Podcast
07/30/19 • 46 min
In this week's episode, I sit down with Omar from Blaugranagram and host of the Driven Shot Podcast, part of the Big Head Media Network. We talked about the F.C. Barcelona upcoming season, the things the need to improve on in 19/20, and how Messi will impact this lineup.
We also managed to somehow talk about Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi and how they differ in playing style and who is much better (pretty obvious). The Premiere League headlines were also discussed and much more.

EP85: Final NBA Power Rankings | We Should Be Concerned About the Lakers
StatMan Sports Podcast
08/11/20 • 34 min
After a week hiatus, I am back to give you my NBA Power Rankings Top 10 NBA teams going into the NBA Bubble playoffs. I also share a not no nice experience on Twitter with another fellow tweeter, and I round it off with Damian Lillard taking Skip Bayless soul in a Monday afternoon tweet.
NBA Power Rankings
It was impossible to predict what would happen during the season restart after 4 1/2 months off. But even expecting the unexpected, we have to be surprised by the performances of some teams in Orlando.
The title favorites have seemingly had a tough time adjusting. The Milwaukee Bucks, Los Angeles Lakers and LA Clippers are a combined 7-10. The Lakers have had the worst offense in the restart, and the Bucks ranking 11th defensively over the last 11 days may be more shocking than that. Both Milwaukee and the Clippers lost to the Brooklyn Nets last week.
The Phoenix Suns probably shouldn't have been invited to the restart. But they were, they have their first five-game winning streak in 5 1/2 years, and they're still very much alive in the chase for eighth and ninth place in the Western Conference. The San Antonio Spurs went to Orlando to develop their young players and they've found themselves in the middle of that same chase.
Two playoff series in the East are set. The No. 1 seed Bucks will face the No. 8 seed Orlando Magic, while the No. 2 seed and defending-champion Toronto Raptors will face Brooklyn, the 7 seed. We also know that the Boston Celtics are the No. 3 seed in the East, while the Lakers are No. 1 in the West.
Everything else will be determined in the next seven days, with the Western Conference play-in series taking place on Saturday and, if necessary, Sunday.
With the top teams all stumbling, there's no obvious No. 1 in this week's rankings. Fortunately, this isn't college football or basketball, and the rankings don't really matter.
Feel free to disagree.
StatMan | Episode 93: Should the Warriors trade the #2 pick? NBA Off-season 2020 Review thus far!
StatMan Sports Podcast
11/18/20 • 26 min
After two weeks, Steve is back with some interesting number breakdowns as to why the Bucks traded for Jrue Holiday, how it impacts Giannis supermax contract. Also, David Griffin and Sam Presti should be getting GMs of the century awards, if such a thing exist.
And we also break down what each trade thus far means for the Eastern and Western Conference teams.
For anyone who thought the Golden State Warriors were finally free of the long and sleepless nights, anxiety, angst and all other psychological demons that are byproducts of a miserable season, please reconsider, because there’s one more remnant from that rubble they must deal with.
Which is: How do they handle the reward for surviving that?
To be more precise: What should they do with Draft pick No. 2?

EP91: Where are we now in the GOAT debate? MJ or LeBron?
StatMan Sports Podcast
10/14/20 • 31 min
NBA GOAT DEBATE
LeBron James has earned his fourth NBA championship and fourth Finals MVP, closing the gap on the ring total of all-time great Michael Jordan. As LeBron's legacy continues to grow, the debate of who is the GREATEST player in league history becomes closer than ever before.
Few questions have engaged the world of sports as much as the question about the best or greatest sportsman of all time. Often the acronym GOAT – Greatest Of All Time – is attributed to someone who is the greatest at a certain skill. But often the word ”best” or ”best of all time” is mixed into the discussion and then it gets complicated.
The first question to ask is about the difference between ”greatest” and ”best”. Doesn’t it mean the same thing?
First of all, greatness is a measure of the merits and achievements over a complete career while ”best” is a perishable that has to be related to a certain time period.

StatMan | Episode 87: Luka Doncic is Top 5 Player in the NBA
StatMan Sports Podcast
08/25/20 • 27 min
The first chapter in the book of Luka Doncic Legend was written on a Sunday afternoon, when Doncic capped off an all-time playoff performance with an overtime buzzer-beating triple to tie the Mavericks’ first-round series with the Los Angeles Clippers at two games apiece.
Doncic took the shot defenses want him to take at this time in his short NBA career, a leaning, step-back three. But moments often transcend numbers, and sometimes it takes only a sliver of daylight to turn a ho-hum, go-home-in-five series into a dogfight.
Even more than putting a scare into the favored Clippers, Doncic has put the NBA on notice: This feels like Tiger’s “Hello world” or Jordan at the Boston Garden in 1986, a moment when you know something special is on the way.
Doncic’s historic performance puts him in a room entered only by Oscar Robertson and Charles Barkley — at least 40 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists in a playoff game — with a jaw-dropping 43-point, 17-rebound, 13-assist showing — all while being a game-time decision on a sprained ankle he sustained in Game 3.
